Biography

Born in Paris in 1967, He began composing in 1989 and his first works were broadcast on the national French radio France Culture in 1994.

In 1995, he composed the first sound design for an Internet provider, Infogrames. The same year, he started working for theatre, composing sounds & musics for Victor Haïm.

From 1996 to 1999, he worked in Luc Ferrari's studios La muse en circuit, and was assistant to Composers such as Gavin Bryars, Luc Ferrari and Brunhild Ferrari.

In 1997, he obtained a two months residency in Monterrey, Mexico, to compose Leyendas Urbanas, a composition with a 180° video projection by Pierre Jacob Colling premiered the planetarium of the city. Two years later, once again in Monterrey, he met the Mexican Free-rock group Los Lichis. Their collaboration led to Several concerts and recordings, In Mexico, France, and the USA.

From 1998 to 1999, he participated in masterclasses at the Iannis Xenakis musical center in Paris (CCMIX), where he studied from Jean-Claude Risset, Curtis Roads, Trevor Wishart, Gerard Pape and Julio Estrada. Thereafter, he obtained a 6-month residency in the CCMIX studios and became a sound engineer for Paul Méfano and Eliane Radigue.

In 2007, he joined the CLSI : "Circle for Liberation of Sounds and Images". This is a composers/performers' band created in 2007 for the interpretation of graphical scores with electronic devices in real time. The circle is directed by Paul Mefano and in 2008 and 2012 they performed concerts at the prestigious Stockhausen festival in Kürten. They recorded with saxophonist Yoshk'o Seffer, a former member of Magma and in 2018 recorded a Stockhausen CD with Mode records in 2018 (Prozession).

Favory considers music to be the sound-theater of our perception. He wants us to enter into the sound, where musical tempo and natural waves of the world are entwined. He presents new musical structures which correspond to the way he hears the world through sounds collected during his travels and his studio experiments. He composes hybrid sounds in movements to create an altered state of conscienceness.
